On Friday, Transport for London, the British capital's transportation regulator, said it had declined to renew ride-hailing service Uber's license to operate in London, effective


Sept. 30. Uber "is not fit and proper to hold a private hire operator license," the regulator said in a statement, saying its "approach and conduct demonstrate a lack of

its "approach to reporting serious criminal offenses." Uber has 21 days to appeal the decision. SUBSCRIBE TO THE WEEK Escape your echo chamber. Get the facts behind the news, plus
